Castle Crashers Review - IGNShare. Taking that long to port a game over to another console might seem crazy, but The Behemoth did its best to ease the pain by adding in some new features and including DLC packs that Xbox 3.

Unfortunately, it seems like the PSN version also includes online problems, just like its former release. As one of the knights of the castle, it is your duty to retrieve the stolen goods and fair maidens.

There's no dialogue, so you won't get more of a story than that unless you use your imagination. That's not a bad thing, though, especially for a brawler.

Ever since its release, Castle Crashers has suffered from wonky Xbox Live co-op gameplay, a problem developer The Behemoth has addressed and promised a prompt fix for. Now, after over 3 months of patient waiting and hearing.

Castle Crashers Crashes 300,000 Mark. A News about Castle Crashers and its co-op game features.

If you're like me, you probably don't need an excuse to chop enemies up into little pieces. The best part of Castle Crashers is exploring the world - - there are tons of levels that look and play completely differently. From slip- n- slide icy terrains to sandy deserts, it's clear that every area was crafted with care by the Behemoth's resident artist, Dan Paladin.

His unique art style really brings the environments to life, and even the most ferocious monsters are still pretty cute. To counteract the adorableness of Paladin's creations, the game includes lots of potty humor and gore- filled battles. Armed with magic and steel (or maybe a stick), you'll hack your way through mounds of enemies, gain experience points, and level up. As you progress, you'll garner more skill points to divide amongst four traits: Strength, Magic, Defense, and Agility. You can build up your character however you'd like, but that's not the only way you can customize. You can find new weapons several ways; some will be obviously given to you and others you'll need to dig up or purchase at a store.

Every weapon will affect your stats either positively or negatively. A regular sword might take away a point of Strength but add a point to your Agility, so you'll need to make the call on what traits are more important to you. The urge to find a better, cooler weapon never dies, so you can expect to search the many hidden crevices of the game until you find something that suites your style. Animal orbs are probably my favorite thing in Castle Crashers because they're just so damn cute.

There are 2. 8 creatures (the two DLC animals from the Xbox 3. Each animal provides a different boost and comes complete with an endearing name, so Meowburt the kitty increases your agility skill while Owlet the owl can retrieve food items for you.

It's fun to battle with a small animal hovering around you, especially if it's Rammy the ram who will ram nearby enemies for you. Though it can be done, single- player assaults are more frustrating and less enjoyable than teaming up with other people.

The biggest issue in trying to take on levels solo is that multiple enemies can assault you with ranged attacks, making it difficult to even stand up before being knocked down again. Since it's designed to be a cooperative game, it's hard to scold The Behemoth for making it incredibly difficult to conquer on your own. With local co- op mode, you can't sign into multiple accounts like you could in the Xbox 3.

PSN ID into quarters. Friends curious about the game can also drop- in and out from the map, but not in the middle of a level, so it's not truly drop- in, drop- out co- op. Despite that flaw, it is nice that you can mix up the local and online co- op modes, so if you and a buddy at your house want to pair up with some other people on your friends list, you can do that. If you're lucky enough, you can successfully create private matches with your friends, but out of several people only one of my friends was able to host a match without getting an error. Dropping into quick matches, however, seemed to work just fine. While playing online, there was some noticeable lag, but it didn't actually interfere until the worst possible moment - - once I made it to last part of the final boss, the game I was in suddenly dropped.

Curse you, wretched servers!!! I can only hope that a patch fixing these issues will become available for the PS3 faster than it did for the Xbox 3. The most noticeable change is that the former mode All You Can Quaff has been removed and replaced with Volleyball. True to real life volleyball, there are two four- person teams playing against each other. The only problem is it's really difficult to figure out if you're on the same plane as the ball, so expect to get scored on a lot until you get the hang of it.

Now you can pair up for some two- on- two battles, or prove yourself against three other people. There's also an Insane Store that's unlocked once you've beaten the game on normal difficulty. All former DLC offerings and the popular Alien Hominid character are included, some are found in the Insane Store, while others have to be earned in different ways. The Verdict. The Behemoth& #Array; s incredibly fun cooperative beat& #Array; em- up would& #Array; ve been pure brawler perfection if the multiplayer had launched in better form. It& #Array; s incredibly frustrating that it& #Array; s easier to play Castle Crashers with strangers than with your friends, but it& #Array; s still a great brawler that will soak up your time.

Between unlocking new characters so you can level them up to finding all of the hidden weapons and animal orbs, there& #Array; s a lot to do in the campaign mode. If you never experienced the Xbox 3. PSN list, Castle Crashers is a great game though you might want to wait for a multiplayer patch before investing.
